Hi Barbara,

What are you doing sitting home on a Saturday night playing on your laptop?

Actually Yahoo shows Chrust only owning 168,000 as of Sept 1.
Since then he's registered to sell 100,000 toward the end of Nov and now 67,000 yesterday. Only leaves him 1,000. Of course, he's probably received options to buy another 50,000 since then, but looks like he's about out of stock. (Of course, I don't know how accurate Yahoo is.)

Anyway, that's over $5,000,000 worth of stock in three weeks. Must be those expensive east coast schools :-) I realize everyone has their own reasons for selling, but with everything we've heard and are hearing, this doesn't seem to be an opportune time for him to be selling.

Insider selling (large amounts anyway) always make me a little nervous. Ask those CVUS holders about insiders bailing :-)

Steve

Barbara,
Sounds like Mr. Big has a lot of expenses (Hey, he and I have at least one thing in common !!).
With all due respect, and In only MHO, it has been my experience that Insider Sales
*** Yes indeed, Steven, CVUS does come quickly to mind :-( ***
are NEVER EVER good for the price of a stock (a little here, a little there and pretty soon we are talking about real shares).
No matter what the reason the Insider states (Planned, Unplanned, Gift, whatever).
Only exception, I suppose would be a "forced" options expiration sale... or Bill Gates lightening his load on Microsoft by a feather or two. Poor Bill needs to diversify !!
Regards,
DreamWeaver

Barabara and all -

I don't care how rich you are why on earth would anyone sell 167,000 shares of a stock that you had even a minute thought was going to increase in value in a reletively short time? Even if you had a bank chasing you you would explain to them that you selling like this with all the negative publicity and signals would cast the stock in a very bad light.

this does not seem like good news any way you look at it.

regards,

L
